Özet

Counselor’s self-efficacy theory serves as having major implications for educators and researchers in the counseling field. The self-efficacy of counselors-in-training (CsIT) typically increases as they evaluate and integrate their experiences during their training program. One of the goals of counselor education programs is to understand how CsIT improve during their education to be efficient and effective professional counselors after they graduate. Hence, the purpose of this study was to examine predictive factors of counselors-in-trainings’ self-efficacy. Seventy-eight counseling students (12 men and 66 women) participated in the study.  Results of bivariate correlations and multiple regression revealed that mattering, resilience, empathy, and existential well-being were significant predictors of general self-efficacy. Our study sought to examine a conceptual framework of self-efficacy with resilience, mattering, empathy, and existential well-being serving as independent variables. The importance of evaluating self-efficacy is evident in the literature and this study adds to the current literature emphasizing on the positive psychology factors.
